Meadow Lighting pendant

RANCHO DOMINGUEZ, CA—Meadow Lighting, a new hospitality lighting supplier, has launched for the hotel industry. The newly formed company will use the latest technologies to provide sufficient lighting solutions.

Founded by Jeff Lazar and Jim Hesterly, Meadow Lighting delivers guestroom table and floor lamp portables, as well as hardwired fixtures including wall-mounted sconces and small hanging fixtures for lodging.

“Lighting offers us a wonderful additional platform of product design and functionality in guestrooms, to blend with JLF’s seating and fine tables,” stated Jeff Lazar, president of JL Furnishings.

Providing sustainable solutions including LED bulbs, dimmers, and recycled materials is also a goal for Meadow Lighting. Sustainability is a core value of its sister companies JLF and Lone Meadow.

In addition to the announcement of the company’s launch, Meadow Lighting also appointed Ken Koneck as VP. Koneck has 10 years’ experience in marketing and sales from Valley Forge Fabrics.

HX: The Hotel Experience Has Its Own Story to Tell
The Hotel Business team just returned from this year’s HX: The Hotel Experience, which was held in New York City at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. As we usually do post-event, we talk amongst ourselves about trends we noticed at the show, held in conjunction with BDNY. And while the latter—and now larger—show was abundant with design trends (let’s just say blue seemed the prevalent color; bold, geometric forms the dominant shape; and metallics a common thread…pun intended!), the more traditional “hotel” side of the convention center had its own story to tell.
